Looking for a Mystery Box in Pokémon Go? Follow the guide to know how you can get the mystery box in the game and explore what’s in there. So, let’s get started.
What is a Mystery Box in the game?
The Mystery Box is a specialized item that works exactly like an Incense. When you activate it in your inventory, it triggers the Mythical Pokémon Meltan to spawn around you for about an hour. Magical, right? It is the only reliable way to find this specific Pokémon in the game, and thus it becomes really important. Since evolving Meltan into the powerful Melmetal requires a huge amount of 400 candies, you will definitely want to use this box repeatedly. If you want to complete the evolution, it is essentially your primary tool for farming enough Meltan candy to complete it. If you are a true collector who loves evolving, this should be on your list.
Steps to get a mystery box in Pokémon Go
If you want to get a mystery box in Pokémon Go, then these are the steps that you can follow.
- First, download the Pokémon Home app on your smartphone and create an account. But to do this, you will be using the same credentials associated with your Pokémon Go account. This is to make sure that they both are able to link, creating no confusion.
- Now Open Pokemon GO and tap on the main menu button to open settings. Once you’re there, you can scroll down until you find connected devices and services.
- Tap on Pokémon Home and log in using your Nintendo account. Once your accounts are linked, almost half of your work is done.
- You can now go back to the Pokémon HOME menu in your settings and select Send Pokémon.
- Selection comes next! Pick a creature from your collection that you are willing to lose permanently. Why? Well, once it is moved to HOME, it cannot be brought back.
- Once the transfer is complete, just open your Pokémon Home app to accept.
It’s all done, and you just have to collect the box. So, head back to your Pokémon Go inventory, and you will find the Mystery Box right there. Just tap on it to open it!
But you must remember that once you have it, after the one-hour spawn session ends, the box will close. You must wait for three days to pass before you can transfer another Pokémon to reopen it.
